My only hesitation is weight.. maybe I'll use my composite lower to help out with that.

All you need is this...it's amazing and runs like a champ. Even cycles subsonic! All you do is take out your standard AR bolt, pop this .22 bolt in and it uses your .223 barrel! I absolutely love mine and the magazines are cheap too!

No barrel issues after doing that? That's extremely tempting. I'm at war with the squirrels and my 10/22 doesn't cycle subs

Your 10/22 should cycle subs, sounds like it needs an overdue cleaning.

Many .22 rounds will measure out .224 all day long, especially if using 40gr or larger bullets

My 10/22 cycles subs just fine.

My pellet gun has been raining death on the squirrels in my back yard. I'm 3 for the last 3 days. A pellet to the head and they fall like a rock.
It's a pneumaic Ruger in .177 that advertises 1200fps. Came with a scope and it's been accurate.

Hmmmmm. That's odd. Gun is definitely clean. Which subs are yall shooting? It won't cycle the 40gr CCI loads.

I've been using mine also. I think mines a 1000fps. That gun is a ray of death. If I had to estimate I'd say it has killed around 300-400 rabbits. No exaggeration.

And fuck squirrels! These little bastards are eating my house and digging up my flower beds.

CCI as well.. not sure the grain. Assume they don't have a lot of selection in subs. Its been a while since I have shot it. I'll take it out next time I go and do it again to verify.

I like taking out the kiddo's little pink wood stock stainless Cricket single shot .22 with subs. Its dead nuts rabbit killer. But thankfully the dogs have been taking care of them this year.

When I was about half my age now I used CCI 22 Shorts for a lot of my sounds sensitive shooting. They were accurate and quiet out of my bolt action Western Field rifle. It is still one of my favorite rifles.

I guess going up to a .22 pellet causes something to be more loud.
Mine has taken many squirrels and even a ferel cat. Again, head shot is quick and clean.

Looks like it is going to be a tough year for the Easter bunny.

I bought a shitload of shorts for the Cricket and fuck they are LOUD! They (CCI) have amped them up to get more FPS and they missed the point. My FIL shoots CB Caps out an old iron sight .22 that is tube fed and its stupid quiet and squirrels just fall like rain.

He's 23 pounds of fury... don't tell him that he is that small.. he has a chip on his shoulder.

Oh I had NO idea it would be that loud. Its a 1200 FPS .22 gun. Thing is a workout to cock it.

I got it for $75 at Academy a few years back. Went in to buy a .177 rifle and this was on sale. Sold. Over 50% off.

X2 on the fuck squirrels. I literally got 2 pecans off both of my trees last year. They ate all. The rest. And one of them is 3' diameter. Big ass tree. They will all die this year.
